CINCINNATI (AP) — Desmond Ridder led Cincinnati on a 92-yard fourth-quarter drive to take the lead and Ohio was stopped at the Bearcats' 1-yard line with 52 seconds left on James Wiggins' interception for a 34-30 win on Saturday.
Michael Warren's 3-yard run brought the Bearcats all the way back from a three-touchdown deficit for Cincinnati's fourth straight win to start the season. Cincinnati has already matched its win totals of the last two seasons.
Nathan Rourke frustrated the Bearcats in the first half when Ohio built a 24-7 lead. He finished with 96 yards, including a 37-yard run on Ohio's final possession.
